    Pacman is greater than JMM. easily. He would give Floyd a tougher fight. Look Floyd should fight Pacman, Pacman is still not a big guy so Floyd would have a chance to win.

    I think Pac throws more punches from all angles, but Marquez is, by far, the more skilled. We will see after the Hatton fight.

    I've only seen pac fought above 140 and he looks good... not being bias but i think pac's stance, aggressive style and speed will trouble floyd more. we'll see if i'm right after the hatton fight.

    It can go vice versa as well, Mayweather would probably give Pac an even tougher fight than Marquez. Mays counterpunching ability along with his great defense would shut Pac's output imo and he would dominate the fight clearly.. I think Marquez is smarter in the ring he studies and times his opponents. pretty much it would be a game of chess. Marquez is the tougher fight imo

    i think pac gives him more trouble, pac would be in a fight for 12 rounds and neither of these 2 will slow down. Pac also has the better chin than marquez so he would have trouble taking out pac more than marquez.

    Nice avatar Jeff, funny how the other day you predicted a Taylor win by brutal stoppage within 6.

    Style wise JMM, but considering Manny's power and aggression it may be him. Its hard to say.

    People are seriously overrating Pacs power at the higher weights. It took him 9 rounds of brutal punishment to drop Diaz. It took Morales one punch to knock him down.
    Oscar was taking flush shots for 9 rounds and his legs never even buckled.
    JMM just knocked out 2 guys who had never been knocked out. One was a fresh young fighter who is in his prime and has never been hurt.

    Power wont be a factor in these match ups because PBF has more than both. Speed also wont be a factor because PBF also has more. The only thing that could help someone defeat PBF is ring intelligence along with good boxing fundamentals.
    JMM has that in abundance. PAc does not. With smaller or weight drained fighters his power and speed is what separated him from them and gave him the victory.

    Let me ask you this. What is Pac gonna do when he throws a combination and gets off balance like he still does. Maybe not as bad but he is usually off balance after a combination and he has a bigger stronger fighter whos is the most accurate in the game?
    The fight with Pac would end within 3-4 rounds. PBF at anything higher than 140 also beat JMM but i dont think by stoppage. JMM adapts too well throghout a fight to be taken out. There is a reason he has never been stopped.

    I agree that Marquez would go 12 and Pacquiao would not in a fight with Floyd. It's what I see taking the styles into account.

    Pacquiao not because he is more skilled then Marquez, talented, or a heavier puncher, but because he brings intangibles to the game, Mayweather wouldnt be able to time and figure out Pacquiao as easy as he would Marquez. I think both get KO'd but I think Pacquaio makes it a rougher fight.

    I'm interested to see what Floyd has left after the layoff from in ring Boxing competition at this level.

    Both will give Floyd a run.
